How Will I Live on Fixed Income

I have lived in Bellevue since 1999 and when I first came I could afford to live here on my salary. For a number of years my salary was low and I actually qualified for low income housing but there was nothing available in Bellevue or the surrounding cities. I am now old enough to qualify for social security and am also still working full time. I am fortunate enough to live in a complex that offers rent below market value. if not for both of those things I would not be able to live in Bellevue I see a lot of apartments going up but I don't know of many places that I would be able to rent if I have to stop working an rely totally on social security and my retirement.
